VIRTUA TENNIS from Sega is essentially a graphically splendid, feature-rich take on the SNES classic SUPER TENNIS. You can choose one of several real-life tennis pros, select Singles or Doubles mode, and make your ball-bouncing way through levels of ever-increasing challenge. Controlling your swing and ball direction is simple and elegant: one button is used for normal swings and one button is for lobs, and you control the direction of your shot with the analog stick. The duration of the button press determines how powerful your shot is, meaning you have control over every element of every shot. Compete in Exhibition mode against your friends and watch the multiplayer mayhem ensue, and engage in Four-Player Doubles matches that are court-crowding parties of sporting madness. Customize the rules for victory, enjoy a slew of mini-games (like knocking down cans and hitting bulls-eyes), spend your winnings in the tennis shop (contract partners, buy stylish outfits), and unlock hidden players. In VIRTUA TENNIS for the Dreamcast, the ball is always in play.
